Prudence is joined this week by Max Jacobs, a radio and podcast producer based in New York. Long ago, he helped produce this show.

Prudie and Jacobs dig into letters about what to do when a neighbor’s cigarette smoke creeps into your apartment, how to cope with your mom’s passive aggressive behavior, what to do when your privileged partner complains about his job, should your wife be more careful about hiding her pot smoking from the kids.
